Evolutionists believe IN

 

        What they think is gradual change;

 

Because, if they believed IN

 

           God, they would have to change.

God-Given Mind

The God given mind

Is a marvelous thing.

It can hear a melody

That the mouth can sing.

It can see a landscape

That the hand can sketch.

And it can smell aromas:

A recipe, and catch.

William H Doane – death, Dec. 23, 1915

Pass me not, O gentle Savior,
Hear my humble cry;
While on others Thou art calling,
Do not pass me by.

Refrain

Savior, Savior,
Hear my humble cry;
While on others Thou art calling,
Do not pass me by.

Let me at Thy throne of mercy
Find a sweet relief,
Kneeling there in deep contrition;
Help my unbelief.

Trusting only in Thy merit,
Would I seek Thy face;
Heal my wounded, broken spirit,
Save me by Thy grace.

Thou the Spring of all my comfort,
More than life to me,
Whom have I on earth beside Thee?
Whom in Heav’n but Thee?

Music – William Doane, Words – Fanny Crosby
